A note, why do they use such small sensors (11mm) rather than the large sensors in full-frame DSLRs (42 mm)?
Didn't quite get that constraint as being absolutely necessary.

Shallow depth-of-field is incredibly distracting for video and difficult to work with. Everything is out of focus. It's mostly a photography/art thing to isolate your subject.
You can see how sports program would want everything to be in focus, instead of just one player. That would look ridiculous.
86x zoom for 35mm sensor would be much larger (so big that it would be impractical), heavier and much pricier than $200k.
